Personally-identifiable Information

While using our Site, you may voluntarily provide us with certain personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to your name, email address, zip code, employer, and job title. NNPHI collects personally identifiable information, for example, when Users set up an account on the Site, when they nominate training programs for the Site, when they sign up to be a reviewer, or when they complete the “Ask a Librarian” or “Contact Us” forms.

How NNPHI Uses the Information that It Collects

NNPHI uses Users’ personal information to better understand how Users use the Site so that it can improve the Site and its offerings. NNPHI also uses personal information for the purpose for which the Users provided the information, in other words, to create an account on the Site, to review nominated training programs for the Site, to add a User as a reviewer, or to respond to an inquiry. If you provide NNPHI with your email address, NNPHI may add you to its email list and you may start to receive email communications from NNPHI. If, at any time, you wish to stop receiving emails from NNPHI, you may follow the unsubscribe instructions on the bottom of any email NNPHI sends you, or you can email NNPHI at communications@nnphi.org and ask to be removed from NNPHI’s email list.

NNPHI does not share your personally identifiable information with others, except as set forth below. NNPHI reserves the right to share personally identifiable information about Users when required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws or to respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant. NNPHI may also share personally identifiable information if it believes it is necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of NNPHI or others.

NNPHI may also share personally identifiable information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of its business to another company. Moreover, NNPHI may share personally identifiable information about a User upon the User’s consent.

NNPHI may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personally identifiable information regarding Users with third parties.

Third Party WebsitesFor your convenience, NNPHI provides links to sites operated by organizations other than NNPHI ("Third Party Sites") that offer training that has been reviewed using NNPHI’s Quality Standards. NNPHI does not disclose your personally identifiable information to the operators of Third Party Sites. NNPHI does not endorse the Third Party Sites and does not control the content of Third Party Sites. NNPHI is not responsible for the privacy practices of these Third Party Sites. If you choose to click on a link to one of these Third Party Sites, you should review the privacy policy posted on such Third Party Site to understand how that Third Party Site collects and uses your personal information. This Privacy Policy covers only information collected through NNPHI’s Site. In addition, NNPHI does not currently respond to web browser “do not track” signals.

Compliance with Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act

Protecting the privacy of the young is especially important. For that reason, NNPHI never collects information on the Site from those it knows are under 13, and no part of the Site is structured to attract anyone under 13. If NNPHI becomes aware of having information about anyone under 13, it will promptly delete the information.

California Privacy Rights

Such requests must be submitted to NNPHI by email addressed to communications@nnphi.org.
